An alchemist's adventure in the new world (Overlord fanfic)

CH 3: First Steps

Location: Underground Base
Narrator POV

Even though her body was in top condition without the slightest sign of exhaustion, Tomiju was feeling like she just ran a marathon. She also wanted to massage her temples even if her head was perfectly fine, she guessed that more time was needed to get used to this new body.

After releasing everyone from Infinite Void she almost had a heart attack when she saw the amount she had stored. Tomiju was a collector, she wanted to have everything that her hands could reach including summons, homunculus, abominations, automatons, and some special golems which kneeled the moment they got outside. There was supposed to be a limit to how many you could have at a time but after 1 wish upon a star ring was used, she never had to worry about that again. After a little asking around she found out that yes, the pieces of paper she made for them indeed became their backstories and personalities. It would take some time for her to find out if it's a bad or good thing but at the moment all she can do is treat them well and hope for the best.

She then took another look around her and held back the "wow" that wanted to escape. At the beginning of the construction, everyone made sure to make her a temporary room to rest while they finish the rest of the construction. For a temporary room, it was insanely beautiful, and spacious. She also found out quite a lot during the time she took part in it.

She saw the others using spells and skills without any problem but she was still concerned, to her relief, there were no problems when using them, though there were still some differences from the game. She didn't have a mana bar anymore but she could feel the amount she had and the cost of the spell, the same went for the range they had. When she used the 3rd tier spell [create dirt golems] to give them the more menial tasks she found out that unlike the game they rose from patches of the earth leaving holes behind which was great since the earth could move instead of someone digging it out. There were also a couple of people that had craftmanship, artificer, and architectural skills so the construction was going faster than expected.

That's how she was standing in a fabulous room while the others were still hard at work. She initially wanted to refuse but after they all told her how ashamed they would be if their master had to dig in the dirt in front of them she chose to listen and go to the temporary room prepared for her. The space she had was ridiculous, the light was coming through the windows even though they were underground thanks to some fancy spells and there was top-tier furniture all over the place.

She was standing at a fancy table that was filled with a variety of delicious desserts and had a cup made from Celestial Dragon scales in her hand from which she carefully took another sip of the delicious tea inside it. Another thing she found out was that her tongue was now abnormally long. She almost spilled the first cup when she tried to taste it with her tongue which shot forward and almost knocked it out of her hand. She also noticed that she was humming a lot, most likely thanks to her race. Tomiju allowed her eyes to wander toward the person sitting beside her at the ready.

???: Is there anything you need Mobius-sama?

In Yggdrasil, she was able to create a variety of what others called "fancy cannon fodder". While she could create custom summons, homunculus, abominations, automatons, and golems at the end of the day they weren't NPCs. They were a lot weaker and if they died, they died without any way to bring them back, there was also no way to equip them with revival items. She initially wanted them to fight the players, but she never did since she felt attached to them, after a while, she just made them for fun. In her eyes, they were indeed her children.

Mobius: No Moonshine, I just wanted to take a better look at you.
